1955 Map of La Moure

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The James River carves a winding path through the southeastern North Dakota prairie on this survey, anchoring the town of La Moure. The settlement is a hub of transport and water management in the mid-1950s, defined by the Northern Pacific railroad crossing and the Spillway 1297 at the river's bend. The landscape is marked by the distinct sections of Grand Rapids, Dean, Ryan, and Wright, showing a highly organized grid of rural infrastructure. Evidence of early community life is preserved in the placement of the Cottonwood Ch and the St Ansgar Ch near the Dickey County line. The map reveals a balance between the natural hydraulics of Nevermore Lake and Cottonwood Creek and the utilitarian needs of the era, seen in the numerous Gravel Pits and the Gaging Sta monitoring the river's flow.
